MOTORISTS are asked to report sightings of a Skoda Octavia with activated blue lights to police immediately after it was stolen from outside a house in west Essex.
The unmarked police car was taken from the Doddinghurst area shortly before 12:30am on Thursday, April 17. The DE12-plate blue estate car also has a two-tone sound fitted to the vehicle.
The car belongs to the Metropolitan Police.
A police spokesman said: “We want to make motorists aware that this car is not being driven by a police officer and so they should not pull over if requested to do so by the driver who is probably the individual who stole it. We would ask people who see this car on the road to report it to police immediately.”
Anyone with information in connection with the whereabouts of this car should contact police on 999 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
They can wait their turn, considering how few stolen car crimes they solve!
